Wordsworth
Wordsworth is the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770–1850), known for lyrical poems celebrating nature and common life.
His name often stands for a particular strain of English poetry—contemplative, pastoral, attuned to landscape: very Wordsworth, a Wordsworth moment.
He co-authored *Lyrical Ballads* with Coleridge and served as Poet Laureate.
